In a shocking turn of events, Sean Tenhoff, the creator of Webcomic Idol-finalist, The Bean Men, has pulled his strip from the competition, citing a bout of cheating on his part by some overzealous readers.? The voting system has come under fire before and this latest issue, damning as it is for one contestant, should force the folks at Bomb Shelter to take a harder look at it before attempting another Webcomic Idol.

So is Bean Men done for?? The announcement (made by Tenhoff himself on the BS forums) has yet to be reflected in the votes, so stay tuned for the final fate of The Bean Men.
